Let me jump in and reflect upon the last week with you all. Here it goes.

The Good:

-Launched my blog;

-Booked an amazing, affordable cruise to South America (in case the blog destroys my self-esteem and I need an escape;-));

-I tried just a little bit harder this week to understand what on earth my husband thinks in that head of his.

The Bad:

-I have been a bit grumpy with the humidity here in NYC. Tend to shout at inanimate objects like an angry troll;

-I did not cook anything creative; my tastebuds died;

-Unlike emilyline, I did not win virtual tickets for the Bacchae in Central Park:-(

Cheers to another week!

I’m mainly a lurker on this blog but thought of you when I saw this: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29168098. Wanted to share it with you!

The Good:
-found someone to finish my ebook formatting.
-4 people agreed to take a final look at it and I really value their feedback
-1 of the 3 gave me their blessings
-1 person couldn’t open the pdf’s which saved my ass because there were things in there that needed to be corrected. i hadn’t read it in a while since the last edit. Thank God for her!!!
-weeded and mulched my courtyard.
-got some sleep.
-got lots of exercise, yoga and sunshine.
-great long walks with my girls!
-someone famous asked me to review their upcoming book! that’s so exciting.

The Hard:
-Screwed up my again doing things in the wrong order.
-No a/c and it’s hot and humid here. Constantly find myself seeking coolness
-Back pain
.-= Char´s last post … test =-.

Hard:
–Not sleeping well. Too much monkey mind.
–More relationship churn. 15 years in the same relationship is an accomplishment. And it’s still as much work as it ever was. And will be. Feeling very emo about it all.

Good:
–Got a big time acting offer, which I had to turn down because of my current show, but it’s with a company I really want to work with and now feel like I’m “foot in the door.”
– Work on one person show went very well. Doing an audition for a special funding program for it on Monday, which is my birthday, so feel very good about the karma of that and my preparation for it.
–Have been having lots of heart to hearts with my wonderful friends. Learning to let people in more, learning to receive.

Hugs to all for the hard, Hoorays for the good, and a Glorrrrrrrrrrrious week to everyone. Love that. And as always, big hugs and love to Havi and Selma for being themselves, and creating the space.

The hard:
- Overwhelm, overwhelm, overwhelm.
- Beating myself up for getting into the overwhelm situation in the first place.
- The constant battle with other people’s beliefs that because I work at home, I must not really be doing anything, so I have time to “just squeeze this in” for them right away. I should order the boundaries spray.

The good:
- Yay, my Shiva Nata DVD arrived! I’m looking forward to spending some quality time with it next week.
- I met all of my deadlines, self-imposed and otherwise, this week, when I thought at the beginning of the week that something would have to slide.
- My Spotlight feature at Lillyella has brought a TON of traffic to my Etsy site.
- I had a wonderful lunch with Nicole from Lillyella yesterday — fabulous food and fabulous company.
- I received a new wholesale order and a new custom order this week, and a new editing project that looks really interesting.

Happy weekend, everyone!

The Hard
My dayjob-I really need to build private clients and LEAVE the dayjob. The dayjob offers very little except for adding stress to my life. AND, for what I earn, it prevents lots of good in my life, such as working on my offerings for clients because it takes up much too much of my time. Which I now see as earning even less income per hour.

The Good
Had Friday off this week and spent the day on me. Had a pedicure, massage and had a wonderful talk with a friend.
That felt like-Wow.

Was asked to write a Q & A for a local magazine. At first I thought no(they wanted it yesterday)then I realized it was the answer to wanting MORE clients. I finished it. Not quite to my standards but I let that feeling just be and submitted. Hmmm…this was both hard and good but feels so good I’m thinking of it as good.

While I was thinking about good/hard of it, I realized this is my first published piece. I will really be seen.
Sorry, need to say it again-WOW!

Looking forward to a great weekend and so many new clients that the dayjob is a donejob.

So thankful for you Havi, Selma and everyone here.
Happy weekend

My hard:
Having a tough time getting back into my routines after being away from home for several days. Lots of fatigue, confusion, and inner rebellion.
Financial fears. Oh, that’s a hard one. So scary. So much shame and self-blame.

My good:
Family who love me and tell me so, patiently, as many times as I need to hear it. Family who *show* as well as tell their love.
A ten-year-old daughter who still enjoys having me read to her (which I *love* doing!) and who, when I kissed her goodnight a couple of nights ago, said to me, “I’m so lucky! I have a great life!”
Reading some soul-nourishing stuff about illustrated journals, and being inspired to doodle in my own journals. Writing feels familiar and comfortable, while drawing feels mysterious and strange. It’s actually a very potent combination!

Okay, I’m ready to have a glorrrrrious weekend. Bring it on, universe!

The good:
- getting to spend a few days in Montreal! I miss Montreal, so it was really great!
- being there when my gentleman friend was awarded a prize for his last novel
- getting to read the first draft of my gentleman friend’s upcoming novel
- being home long enough to be almost caught up
- being almost caught up!
- feeling like I’ll soon be able to get back to doing stuff and moving forward. Yay!

Hey, lady, quit reading my mind!

Selma’s on to something–I need to hide a little bit.

My only bad this week was tired. And grumpy. And grumbly.

But really, mostly good. Except for the boundaries.

I’ve come to play! This assignment is a GREAT compliment to my Sunday Night Success, um.. Monday Morning Action lists (I put a link in the linky field)

My week, or Take That Friday!

The Hard

Tackling the Business Plan *at all* has required more than I have in me this week.

The Good

Had a genius, genius networking idea that makes my insides giggle. AND 2 new clients!

The Hard

Making time to make my home squeaky clean for the visit from Homestay Coordinator tomorrow

The Good

Potential of an International Student staying with me makes my insides, yes, giggle!

The Hard

Ignoring my action list for other priorities!!

The Good

My file of denial & procrastination is as empty tonight as it was on Monday.
